Description
The bi-fold billfold is an item that has many fans because of its smart shape and convenience. Light and supple cowhide is used for the corners and lining, which are prone to rubbing. There is one coin purse with an easy-to-open snap closure and two bill compartments. There are also four card slots, so you can neatly use it with the minimum number of cards required. The small items that become accustomed to your liking over time will shine more brightly as you use them for a longer period of time.
Patterns
Chiku-rin Neko Tsunagi-mon Nishiki(Kasuga-ōchō Brocade with Design of Bamboo Groves and Cats)
Design of this brocade is originated from a pattern drawn on the "Kin-ji-raden-kenuki-gata-tachi" ("Tachi" Sword Mounting with Mother-of-pearl on a Gold Ground and Hilt of "Kenuki-gata" (tweezer-shaped opening) Type), which is the cats dangling the sparrows in bamboo grove were splendidly drawn on the gold "Ikakeji" ground sheath by a mother-of-pearl work, plus flowers and scrolls were chased on the hilt.
"Kenuki-gata-tachi" was used by high-ranked officers in the Imperial Guards where sons of powerful aristocrats served. Only a few of the swords of this kind are left today, out of which this piece is the most gorgeous article.
We have woven into warp-patterned brocade depicting the humorous figure of the cats, which were displayed in the original by the highest technique in the Heian period, in a beehive pattern with our authentic tehnique.
